Martin is coming in our area again. Anyone would like to join the group rate??

[Willma Forst]

We are planning to get ventilation after a long while. I am getting mine cleaned and the tech offered a discount if we get a group of 4-5. He quoted $450 and asked if we have more houses he could do it for $200 including Dryer Vent Cleaning Free for the one AC unit house, interested people pm me House address and Contact number. Feel free to text Martin at 786-927-4854

This is a total SCAM that is going around many googlegroups where the group manager allows public access to the group without proper vetting.

TO land-of-lisp googlegroup manager:   BAN this person and remove open join googlegroup permission on this group and vet legitimate people who wish to join.   Why are commercial solicitations allowed in this group?

What follows is an actual similar situation from another googlegroup where a valid group member was taken in and paid substantial money for very little service.

First the similar come on ...

I'm having air flow issues and dust issues all over the house, we're getting our vents cleaned as I got recommended by a friend to the cleaners she used them for her house and I managed to get a good deal and the guy agreed to give me a group discount. Just need few houses to get the group rate. They'll be coming according to our availability, Group rate is $150

If you’re interested in grouping up, just send me your address and phone number, and He’ll add you to the list of interested ones.
Thanks! 

Sound familiar?

Next here is the response from the scammed victim ...

This was a complete SCAM of a job. The guy Steve sends me a list saying they'll clean the ac unit, and all vents, add a deodorizer.....the tech was just here. He took 15 minutes and cleaned the main vent and charged his $150 and he's done!! He inspected the dryer vent and that's it. Extra $300 for cleaning that btw.
No deodorizer either. Complete SCAM, and just ripped us off of $150.
Kindly VET the contractors before sending out on a group email. 

Don't be taken in.   Avoid these kinds of grassroot SCAMMING solicitations in any googlegroup!
